Already displayed at two official meetings, the Congresso da Associação Nacional de Municípios Portugueses, in Viseu, Portugal, and a formal launch in the Biblioteca do Palácio Nacional da Ajuda, in Lisbon, Portugal, the table will be moving to multiple events and several locations around the country. The table displays an intuitive interface upon which the visitors can explore, amongst other topics, the significant events of the Republic, biographies of representative people as well as all the events and initiatives taking place in 2010 as part of the celebrations.
